'bitmapdatatype' has not been declared - error

Projects Programming

Hello,

I'm using:
• Mega 2560/shield/3,2" TFT
(this kit: http://www.sainsmart.com/arduino-compatibles-1/sainsmart-kit/mega-2560/sainsmart-mega2560-board-3-5-tft-lcd-module-display-shield-kit-for-atmel-atmega-avr-16au-atmega8u2.html)
• IDE 1.0.5.
For test purpose I'm now trying to use UTFT_Demo_320x240.pde.
Unfortunately it won't compile with the error message as in title in the file UTFT.h
Somebody has just started a thread with this problem, but it wasn't solved there.

Has somebody experience with this situation, any hint or even solving...?

Many thaks in advance,

Marek.

That you got from?

From Henning Karlsen's website.

That link doesn't work.

It seems odd...

Try this:

Download: UTFT.rar

It does? You didn't post a link, so why is it odd that it didn't work?

Download: UTFT.rar

I did. I got this error message, when selecting Uno:

Binary sketch size: 38,928 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)

I should write direct link instead of website name - sorry.
But now it's clear, I hope.

Error message You, get is (in my opinion) because
UNO has 32kB and Mega2560 has 256kB.
Thus, the program stops with such error.

Try perhaps to set (false, of course) Mega, like Your hardware.
In this case sketch should compile without upload possibility.

It does compile. That was my point. I do NOT get the compiler error you are paraphrasing in your post title.

Sorry for delayed answer and thanks for helping.
I've just located my error and now it's all OK.

Greetings,

Marek.
